Customer Service Information

Shipping & Delivery
If in stock orders are usually dispatched within 48 hours. We stock around 75% of items shown on our site. Other items have to be ordered in and this can take up to 10 days. Occasionally on special orders delivery times from the manufacturers can be up to 3 months (although this is rare). We will inform you of any delay in dispatching your order.
International Delivery.
Here at Southern Swords Ltd we have posted many items abroad and we realise that European and International postage can be expensive especially when volumetric sizing can inflate the cost. We try with every package to keep postage to its minimum cost by reducing packaging size and combining multiple items. If you would like to make contact prior to making your purchase/s we can work out the best postage costs for you or alternatively you can through through the checkout process and complete the payment for the purchase/s and we will e-mail and invoice you for the best postage cost available for your order.
Privacy & Security
At Southern Swords Ltd we take your privacy seriously, we dont sell or share any customer information provided to us except to 3rd party courier for delivery purposes only, our information is stored on a secure server with restricted access to make sure we know exactly who can access it and if they do we can track when they do, so you can rest assured in shopping with us that your information is safe, in addition we do not store any credit or debit card information so there is no risk of any card fraud.
Returns & Replacements
We inspect all our items prior to wrapping and every care is taken to ensure suitable packaging has been utilised. On receipt of your package please inspect the contents immediately. Damaged or missing items must be reported to us within three working days from delivery. If you receive an item that is damaged due to shipping please notify us by e-mail/telephone and we will arrange a replacement. If you receive the item and decide that you no longer want it, we follow distance selling regulations so provided the parcel is sent back in the original packaging UNOPENED we can accept it back, if opened it falls outside of distance selling so refunds will only be given at the discretion of the company management. Please note that where a refund is agreed for items no longer wanted/needed by the customer, the item must be returned in its original condition and packaging at the customers expense. A full refund will be given minus any shipping charges incurred plus a restocking/handling charge of 10% or minimum of £10- whichever is the greater. Postage costs are non refundable. If you have any questions about deliveries or making returns please do not hesitate to contact us.
